I Think I have given sufficient Evidence to the World , that I have not been wanting on My part in My Endeavours to procure the full satisfaction of all my Subjects , in the matters both of Religion and Property . I have not onely invited you to those Considerations at Our first Meeting , but I have been careful through this whole Session , that no Concern of My Own should divert you from them .

Besides , as I had onely designed the matter of it to be the procuring of good Laws , so , for the gaining of them , I have already waited much longer than I intended , and should have been contented still to have continued My Expectation , had there any hopes remained of a good Conclusion : But I must confess the ill designs of Our Enemies have been too prevalent against those good ones I had proposed to My Self , in behalf of My People : And those unhappy differences between My Two Houses are grown to such an height , that I find no possible means of putting an end to them , but by a Prorogation . It is with great unwillingness that I make use of this Expedient , having alwayes intended an Adjournment for the preserving of such Bills as were unfinished : But my hopes are , that , by this means , the present Occasion of Differences being taken away , you will be so careful hereafter of the Publique , as not to seek new ones , nor to revive the old .

I intend to meet you here again in Winter , and have directed My Lord Keeper to Prorogue you till the Thirteenth of October next .
